two questions here:
1) what's OBS? I think I know RRE... but OBS?
and...
2) what's the benefit to disconnect/removal of red green lines?

Answer to question #1, OBS is 'original body style'. The body style before your truck.

I'm just going to yank mine out. It doesn't throw a code and it doesn't effect how the engine runs, so why have it? Personally, it won't bother me to see a wastegate code on AE. It's just something I'll ignore if/when I need to pull the codes. Just like I can deal with a KAM error and an exhaust backpressure valve code... I just automatically know that those codes aren't going to have anything to do with future problems I may have.

Answer to #2:

There is no waste gate or place to connect theses lines with this turbo (S366, S364) & intake setup.

Took it to the NHRDA world finals last weekend and was going to give the show and shine a try. On the way there a rock cracked my windshield... so didnt enter the show.

Other than that, business as usual. Too busy on other peoples projects to work on this one. Going this weekend to pick up a sled pulling truck for my brother, so there's another project that will require my attention. Lol.

I bent the pushrods in the SD about a month ago and forced me to install chromoly pieces. I checked compression at that time and got stellar results. So I'm happy for now. I also got my Mag Hytec diff cover installed. Almost forgot about that.







Here's a couple newer pics of the truck.

Looks really, really good Travis. If I got mine looking that good, I would do something to screw it up, LOL

Edit: those are really good numbers, wish mine were that good.

Please... your truck is plenty nice. Lol

It's a curse putting a lot of work into how a truck looks or how clean it is anyways.. Every time something happens, it means money. Two weeks after it got painted, it got a door ding and it had to go back to be fixed. Rock chips in the paint I had fixed a couple weeks ago... All last week I spent cleaning the interior everyday after work. Steam cleaned carpet and everything. It looked brand new. First time I drove it, dirt on the floor mats. Then the cracked windshield last weekend. This windshield is only like 8 months old. Lol. In short, this truck is a PITA.

I know how much I obsess over keeping mine clean. I don't even want to know what it takes to keep yours as clean as it is Mr mirror polished exhaust system. Lol. I still haven't touched those IC pipes by the way.
